I came across this wonderful doco about Leslie just yesterday. It's about an hour long but it's really worth it. It's a particular corner of history that marries both France and America.
It speaks to so many aspects of how much our modern life has changed us all since WW2. With all this Epstein business currently exploding in the US, it's reminder of how Hollywood controlled women. Whether or not the average male will ever change, these sordid secrets which have been coming out since the metoo movement are finally blowing the lid off this imbalanced world where men have felt it their right to prey upon women. Of course it's been going on for eons in this digital world of ours there might finally be a reckoning. But even all this doesn't even cover any of all the pedophilia going on since time immemorial.
It's a good thing too. Come what may, men need to change everything. In a court deposition that Trump sat for during the case brought on by Jean Carroll, he was asked if being a star allowed him to get away with grabbing p***y whenever he wanted. He replied that, "..yeah because men have been doing it for a "million years"...
But I bring all darkness up only because Leslie talks about it in a very dignified fashion. The doco is really just a great long postcard showing another era that all Francophiles would love. That Leslie was a wonderful actress is already a given. Régalez-vous, tous!
